Hiskodetria
is a new Finnish mostly instrumental, spacey kraut, psychedelic band. This hr
long 4 track is CD damn cool. The opening 15min track called Nothing Happens,
starts quite slow and spacey for the first 5mins and then the guitar riffs kick
in and the band go into a more uptempo jamming piece. It has some intense
guitar but then mellows with some nice guitar going back and forth between the
two guitar players as the number slowly ends. Poserslave is a short melodic
uptempo piece with some spoken words and the addition of keyboards but he seems
a bit lost at times as the rest of the band plays together. I wonder what he is
talking about. Hiskodetria is a 13min track that has a sort of phasing wall of
sound guitar to start, while the bass and drums really drive the track and the
spoken-sung words get more intense like Circle but his voice is not nearly as
intense but the music is! Some spacey keyboards also filter into the track. The
guitar riff is very repetitive after the vocal section, much like circle and an
organ comes in but is mixed quite low at times. Pretty intense but it is a very
low fi recording. The end is slowed down with a kind of bluesy guitar section. The
last track, On the Road again (Canned Heat song) is 14½ mins and starts very
spaced with some low synth sounds and the guitars slowly working their way into
the track and the Canned Heat song really takes off. This is a fucking great
version and while the guitar player is not technically so amazing, he has a lot
of passion and grit and guts to make up for it as the blues groove just goes
on. A very cool band.. check them out and you can get the CD-R for a cheap
price. Support this new band.
